The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has removed the crime scene yellow tape from in front of BNP’s Nayapaltan central office amid the presence of huge law enforcers.
However, the collapsible gate of the BNP central office still remained locked from the outside and the party leaders and workers were not seen coming to the party office area till 4 pm on Tuesday.
Talking to UNB, police officers deployed there said the crime scene tape inscribed with “Do not cross’ was removed in the early hours of Tuesday as the CID has completed the process of collecting evidence from the spot.
A huge number of law enforces remained deployed in front of the BNP office and its adjoining areas, roads and alleys.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Motijheel Division Deputy Commissioner Hayatul Islam Khan said adequate security measures have been taken in the area to fend off any possible untoward incidents during the blockade.
Besides, he said they would arrest if they find any accused and suspects of Saturday’s violence that killed a police constable and a Jubo Dal leader and injured scores of others, including over 100 law enforcers.
On Sunday, the members of CID earmarked the areas in front of the main gate of the BNP office with the crime scene tape inscribed with “Do not cross’ to collect evidence from there for investigation in Saturday’s severe political violence.
Later, the CID members collected 10 types of evidence and sent those to the laboratory for test.
